Jane's Preschool!

Hooray! Jane made it through her first week at preschool and loved it! The preschool she attends is the only accredited pre-school in Western New York. Here's the web site if you want to look: http://www.gse.buffalo.edu/DC/ECRC/index.html
She really likes her teachers. One is named Brandon and he's just starting his PhD in Early Childhood Ed at the University of Buffalo. Another is named Jessica who just moved up here from Florida and is also pursuing her PhD and then there are 5 students who are working on their masters degrees.
The classroom/playground are great. "They learn through play," but the activities are all very well structured. There are, at most, 20 kids in her class from 11 different countries, so it's a cool group to be in.
It only take us 15 minutes from door to door, but I don't really like having to get everyone out of the car, walk to her class, then put the 2 remaining kids back into the car, but I'll live. Somedays B will take her on his way to work and that will be nice. (oh, she goes Monday-Thursday for 3 hours.) Here are some cute pictures:

Sooo excited to go to preschool!

We are so proud of our Jane! She is so smart and very creative. Both of the head teachers have already told me how wonderful she is and how she has such "a great imagination, she tells great stories." All the other student teachers have also told me how cute and awesome she is... we know!
